During Outside Time, a couple of mallard ducks (one male & one female) landed on the Preschool Playground. We suspect that the ducks were looking for a place to nest. Apryl took pictures of the ducks (The ducks were a safe distance away from the children). This unexpected visit was a great learning opportunity for the children because they were able to observe the ducks for themselves. The children probably learned more about the ducks by observing them in their natural environment than they would have by reading about the ducks in a book or playing with a toy duck. That's one of the advantages of active learning!
